Bupivacaine hydrochloride is 2-Piperidinecarboxamide, 1-butyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-,monohydrochloride, monohydrate, a white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in 95 percent ethanol,soluble in water, and slightly soluble in chloroform or acetone. It has the following structural formula: Epinephrine is (-)-3,4-Dihydroxy-α-[(methylamino) methyl] benzyl alcohol. It has the following structural formula: MARCAINE is available in sterile isotonic solutions with and without epinephrine (as bitartrate)1:200,000 for injection via local infiltration, peripheral nerve block, and caudal and lumbar epidural blocks. Solutions of MARCAINE may be autoclaved if they do not contain epinephrine. Solutions are clear and colorless. Bupivacaine is related chemically and pharmacologically to the aminoacyl local anesthetics. It is ahomologue of mepivacaine and is chemically related to lidocaine. All three of these anesthetics contain
an mide linkage between the aromatic nucleus and the amino, or piperidine group. They differ in this respect from the procaine-type local anesthetics, which have an ester linkage.
